Chapman and her husband, Duane "Dog" Chapman, were the stars of the hit reality show, which chronicled the adventures of their family-owned bounty-hunting business and aired from 2004 to 2012.

They married in 2006 and raised 12 children together.

In September 2017 the couple used the official Facebook account to confirm a report that she had been diagnosed with Stage 2 throat cancer. They revealed during an A&E special "Dog & Beth: Fight of Their Lives" in November 2017 that the cancer had been removed, but it came back last year.

"She lived in two states, Colorado and Hawaii," Duane Chapman said. A separate memorial service was held in Hawaii.
